[BI] Flight Report Shanghai Airlines CAN-SHA

I rarely fly Chinese domestic flights and each time I fly it, experiences aren't so great (that's why I hate China Southern so much). So this time I'm flying from Canton to Shanghai Hongqiao. Before departure, I ask my friend if I should write flight report or not, he obviously said no "because it will disgust him". But it turned out... the service and the product delivered was actually surprisingly outstanding! It's definately one of the best domestic flight service around the world (MEB3 don't have domestic right?)
對於一個比較少飛中國國內線的飛客來講，每一次坐完國內線都要去整返杯涼茶... 因為中國南方航空簡直就係黑暗航空。今次廣州飛上海虹橋，特登飛前問朋友：寫唔寫Flight Report好呢？這位名揚中外的先生就當然叫我唔好寫啦。點知，無論是服務、餐飲抑或座位都是非常唔錯，簡直是我見過最好的國內航班服務！

 Flying today with Shanghai Airlines. Shanghai Airlines was created by Chinese government for political reasons, which is not mentioning  "China" in its name to be able to fly to Taiwan. Eventually, Shanghai Airlines was acquired by China Eastern.
今日乘搭上海航空，可惜上海航空已被東方航空收購併加入天合聯盟。 

 Check-in counters
辦理登機手續

 China Eastern lounge
中國東方航空的貴賓室

 The view is great
景觀

 To be honest, China Eastern's lounge is better than Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge in Montreal in terms of overall comfort.
其實東方航空的貴賓室一點都不差，單講舒適度的話比加拿大航空的楓葉貴賓室還好

 Not many choices for food, people are queuing up for noodles
食物就唔算多啦，麵窗口前排滿了隊

 B-2498
Boeing 767-36D
Pratt & Whitney PW4056 Engines
First flight 23/08/2001, Age: 15 years

 Business Class cabin
As usual, the flight was delayed by 30 minutes due to air traffic control
商務艙 客艙
好似平時咁，航機因空管延誤半個鐘

 I really love the earlier Boeing overhead baggage compartment!
以前的行李架真係有藝術感好多

 This is my seat
我的座位

 Not 180 degrees but it goes really flat
不是完全平躺不過長途航班一定沒問題

Meal, very tasty. Maybe too much of a 2.5 hours flight
飛機餐奕非常好食，不過兩個半鐘會好撐

 Shanghai Hongqiao is really busy at noon hour. No air bridge...
標準角度

 You must think I paid a lot for this ticket. In fact, it was only 80￥(12$ USD) more expansive than economy. It must be due to the recent Chinese government anti-corruption actions, public sectors workers aren't allow to fly Business / First anymore
你一定覺得我條票會好貴啦，其實並不然，商務艙只是比經濟艙貴80蚊人仔。最近中國政府反貪搞到D公務員不敢再坐商務、頭等艙。航空公司慘慘 

 Oh look, what I see!
米奇老鼠啊！

Conclusion: Only if Business class are always that cheap...
總結：如果商務艙下下都咁便就好啦

[EN] Flight Report CZ348

中文版本請點擊 這裡 So after the amazing A340 experience, here comes an expected horrible one: China Southern 348 from Paris CDG to Canton CAN. CZ has never been giving me a good impression since the first time I took it Boarding Pass Prior the departure, I asked the agent in French at the gate if I could get an upgrade with my China Southern Pearl Club Miles and he responded no need and he upgrade me to Economy Plus for free! My China Southern flight will be depart from gate M41. I had to take an APM to the M satellite hall I have taken several airport APM before: Toronto, Denver, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Narita, Kansai and Beijing and this is probably the most fabulous (beautiful) one! Although it was only a 50 seconds trip French, English and Simplified Chinese... so familier where have I seen it before? Oh, Vancouver! Bienvenu à l'hall M Surely the biggest duty free shop i've ever seen with all the staffs following you and talki...

[EN] Flight Report LH478

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點 這裡 When I first got on an A340 6 months ago (you could read my flight report here ), I thought it was probably the last time I could travel on this not-so-fuel-efficiency bird. But in less a year, I'm actually travelling again on this beautiful, quite and comfortable plane! Also with an European carrier like Air France who carried me last time on A340, this time German national-carrier Lufthansa are flying me back home from Frankfurt to Montreal. I've heard a lot of good review before and I confirm: it provides an amazing service and comfortable seats!  LH478 is operated by Lufthansa daily, departing at 1:30pm from Frankfurt and arrive at 3:30pm to Montreal, the flight time is about 7 hours and 30 minutes Lufthansa operates two flights to Montreal everyday, one from Frankfurt and the other from Munich. Air Canada also operates one daily flight between Montreal and Frankfurt. All other flights are A330-300, makes ...

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點擊 這裡 All the airlines around the world are retiring their A340 at this moment just because they think they're not so fuel efficiency compare too B777 and that's why I can't believe I'm still able to be travelling on Air France's old livery A340-300. Et voici mon repotage du vol! (And here is my flight report!) Sorry for the photo quality because my own camera was in reparation so this was not my camera... (not used to this device) Boarding Pass... 2 flights on 1 to save paper? Air France-KLM check-in counter, larger then WestJet's but still very busy because 3 wide-bodies departing together within 3 hours  YUL's newest part: International Wing, still under-construction for the extension part They say this is the largest Duty Free in Canada... Still much smaller than HKG Gate Paris-Montreal is one of the AF's golden route since the 1950s, here is a little bit of st...
